💬 "Peace doesn't come when country which was invaded stops fighting. That's not peace. That's occupation," says Ukrainian Nobel laurate Oleksandra Matviichuk.

I'm going to keep posting this until everyone reads it whether they want to or not.
The only viable path is
1. Arm Ukraine to Win
2. Bankrupt Russia with Sanctions
3. Negotiate Peace
Step 3 will never work unless 1 and 2 are achieved.

[Euromaidan Press @EuromaidanPress]

International monitors have confirmed what Euromaidan Press reported four months ago: Russia is blockading occupied Oleshky.

The UN, Human Rights Watch, ISW and the OSCE all describe starvation, drones, and landmines trapping up to 6,000 civilians.

The information blockade broke. The siege continues. Around 100 bodies still lie unburied in a hospital basement.

Twelve years ago, Russia shot down Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17, killing 298 innocent people.

Today, we remember every victim and stand with their families, and all the nations that lost their loved ones on that tragic day. The downing of MH17 was nothing but a terrorist act. Russia has made such terror against civilians a defining feature of its policy – toward its neighbors, the world more broadly, and even its own people.

It is important to ensure that the world doesn’t turn a blind eye and that for every Russian crime – both against Ukrainians and against other people – there is justice and accountability.

Some Russians are openly saying they hope Putin dies.

"Putin is a criminal and a murderer. I hope some illness takes him as soon as possible."

I made a post yesterday about socialism and naturally every highly educated progressive showed up to tell me that I don’t know what real socialism or communism is.

First of all, I really don’t know where we would be without all of you college educated geniuses that have never left America or lived anywhere else. Thank you all for your wisdom. That third tier community college degree from San Bernardino is really paying off for you.

While I may not have the benefit of your incredible educations (actually I do) what I do have the benefit of is having actually lived under communism for close to 12 years. I’ve experienced the “warmth of collectivism”.

As a 10 year-old, I regularly stood in lines for 4 to 5 hours to govt owned grocery stores simply waiting for a food truck to arrive so they could stock the fully empty shelves with bread and milk. I am talking 1920-s Great Depression style food lines, in the dead of winter, freezing my balls off.

The picture you see here is of a food ration card issued to my mother and food coupons which we had to exchange along with money for food at these incredible government owned grocery stores. (Yes I saved these when we came here in 1992)

I've lived in crappy government built housing tenements because that's literally all that was available as no private enterprise existed to build/offer alternatives.

I've experienced a society that was in decay because, despite promises of equality and a good standard of living, all the wealth and power was amassed at the top by communist party leaders and their cronies. (Yes - in this way communism is no different than capitalism in that power still gets accumulated at the top. Just by different means).

So maybe before you start lecturing others about what socialism really is or being arrogant enough to think that even though it’s failed every single time it’s ever been tried in real life…. It can work this time because you are smarter and it “just hasn’t been done correctly” maybe listen to the people who have actually experienced it first hand. I’m talking real socialism/communism. Not the fake shit from Scandinavia.

Oh and I don't want to hear anything about how socialism isn't same as communism blah blah blah. Yes - they're the same thing. Even your idol Marx didn't hold any real distinction between the two.

Shocking footage: Russians drop a 3-ton bomb (KAB/FAB) on Orikhiv in the Zaporizhzhia sector.

If Europe were governed by real leaders rather than bureaucrats afraid of their own shadows, the skies over Ukraine would be closed, and these Russian attacks would not be possible.

[Shaun Pinner @ShaunPinnerUA]

Well, it was inevitable, and it happened.

Time and again, Russia brings down another Ukrainian apartment building with a missile in the middle of the night, burying entire families beneath the rubble.

Ukraine strikes one of Russia’s largest and most strategically important oil refineries, around 3,000 kilometres from its own borders.

One side deliberately targets civilians. The other targets the infrastructure that fuels the war.

If anyone still struggles to see the difference, they’re choosing not to.

[Meaghan Mobbs @mobbs_mentality]

For all the morons in my comment section yelling, “but what about Dresden or Hiroshima?”

Let me explain.

There is a difference between tragedy and criminality. Dresden and Hiroshima were decisions made in pursuit of ending the deadliest war in human history. And every option before them carried immense human cost.

By contrast, Putin chose to start an illegal war against a peaceful neighbor. The strikes on Kyiv are part of his campaign to conquer a sovereign nation through terror and coercion. Russia is not trying to stop a genocidal aggressor. Russia IS the aggressor.

Bottom line: there is a profound moral difference between using overwhelming force to end a war of aggression and using indiscriminate violence to prosecute one.

[Illia Ponomarenko 🇺🇦 @IAPonomarenko]

Kyiv tonight

[UNITED24 @U24_gov_ua]

An 11-year-old child and a 76-year-old adult were killed in a russian attack on Zaporizhzhia.

russian terror is indiscriminate — they have an urge to murder everyone.

We urge you to help protect the innocent:

[Bill Ackman @BillAckman]

Russia repeatedly targets and bombs Ukrainian civilians and civilian infrastructure and has done so for more than four years.

Where are the university and street protests?

Why does the UN not condemn them?

Where are the calls for a free Ukraine?

Why are there no Queers for Ukraine?

[Nina Demediuk @ndemediuk]

@mobbs_mentality Why and How Ukrainians went to Russia:
•Forced Deportations and "Filtration" Camps: Human rights organizations, the United Nations, and international governments (such as the U.S. State Department) have documented severe evidence of forced deportations.

[Anton Gerashchenko @Gerashchenko_en]

Yet another Russian war crime.
How many more of them will Russia commit...

A Russian strike on the largest poultry farm in Ukraine and Europe, Chornobaivska in Kherson region.

A large fire erupted.
The losses will amount to millions.

[Caolan @CaolanReports]

Russia is already lying about Kyiv, pretending this was about “military targets.”

Hotels are burning. Apartment blocks are burning. Civilians are still trapped under the rubble.

I went on @SkyNews to say the obvious: Russia is talking absolute shit.

[Devana 🇺🇦 @DevanaUkraine]

📜 The Russian Empire declared in its laws: "The Ukrainian language does not exist, has never existed, and cannot exist."

Russia officially banned the Ukrainian language six times since 1720. During the Soviet era, it persecuted speakers of the Ukrainian language and mass-murdered the Ukrainian intelligentsia.

[Shaun Pinner @ShaunPinnerUA]

The world needs to see this, and Caolan captures those emotions.

Civilians remain central to Putin’s campaign of violence and the evidence is there for everyone to see.

[Roman Sheremeta 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @rshereme]

In December 2022, during russia’s occupation of Mariupol, Ukrainian books from the library of the Pryazovskyi State Technical University were thrown out, piled in the street, and burned. This is not just an act of vandalism — it’s an attempt to erase Ukrainian language, culture, and identity.

Wherever russia occupies, it systematically bans Ukrainian language in schools, replaces curricula with russian propaganda, and destroys cultural symbols. It’s a brutal continuation of a long history of russification and cultural repression.

Book burning is a powerful symbol — it shows fear of free thought and national memory. And yet, each burned book reminds us why Ukraine’s resistance matters: because words and ideas are as dangerous to tyrants as weapons.

[Igor Sushko @igorsushko]

🚨 The entire Poland-Ukraine fiasco was orchestrated by the Kremlin, and Nawrocki, the president of Poland, is their asset.
Polish investigative journalists traced the origins right back to the Russian state.
Nawrocki acted based on Kremlin's direction.

A fantastic report on the Russian shadow fleet.
A fantastic report on Europe's greed and stupidity.

A precise guide on how Europe—by applying the right sanctions to eight Turkish, Indian, and Chinese refineries—can quickly force Russia to end the war.

Thanks, Caolan.
